How to Stay Safe this Fourth of July – Oregon Coast

The Fourth of July is a wonderful celebration of America’s independence from British rule that is celebrated every year. This year, America turns 241 (happy birthday, America!) and we want to make sure that you and your family stay safe while celebrating with your fellow countrymen! Below is a short list of what you can do to stay safe and have fun this Independence Day!

Leave the big firework shows to the professionals! Every year it seems someone has hurt themselves or someone else in a terrible accident regarding fireworks that could have been avoided.

When handling fireworks, always keep a fire extinguisher close at hand. Even a sparkler can turn deadly without warning.

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

Always keep a close eye on children and pets during fireworks shows. Young children and animals don’t understand how fire works most of the time, and curious minds love to try new, and often dangerous, things!

Since the fireworks shows start after dark, make sure you know where all of your loved ones are beforehand to avoid lost children!

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

Be earth friendly, and throw away your leftover boxes and other equipment from fireworks after you’ve finished playing. Every year, beaches are littered with fireworks debris. Do your part to help keep Oregon’s beaches clean.

Most pets are lost during the Fourth of July. Keep pets locked inside, preferably in a safe space as far away from the noise of fireworks as possible, to avoid terrifying them.

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

While most people love a good fireworks show on the Fourth of July, some people prefer to celebrate for up to a week before and after. Remember to be courteous to neighbors who may be trying to sleep and aren’t expecting to hear fireworks at midnight before or after the Fourth.

PTSD is a real phenomenon that affects many of our vets and military personnel. If you or anyone you know is suffering from this disorder, please remember to take care of yourself or be as accommodating and helpful as possible to get them through the night.

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

Here on the Oregon coast, many of our fireworks celebrations occur over water and on the beach. Keep yourself safe and be respectful of other people who are trying to watch the show by staying out of the water at night.

Never shoot off fireworks in or around trees and dry grass as this can start a fire that can quickly get out of control. Shooting off small fireworks on pavement away from buildings, people, and animals is your best bet.

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

Remember to abide by your state’s firework rule, and do not shoot off any illegal fireworks. Doing so will help ensure that everyone, including yourself, has a safe and incident free holiday!

Fourth of July Oregon Coast

Seaside visitors will be able to enjoy the fireworks show from the beach in Seaside beginning at dusk, between 10 and 10:30 PM on Tuesday, July 4th. Get there early for a good spot on the beach with your family and friends. If you’re staying with us at The Riptides, The Tides, or Seaside Ocean Vista, you’ll have a good view of the fireworks, but feel free to go outside and join everyone on the beach for the earlier festivities!

The Lincoln City fireworks will be held on Tuesday, July 4th over the Siletz Bay at dusk, between 10 and 10:30 PM. Be sure to get there early and save a spot on the beach or the pier to watch the show. If you’re staying with us at Waters Edge or Baywatch, you’ll already have a front row seat to all of the action!

If you’re staying in Newport, make sure to head over to the Yaquina Bay Bridge area for another spectacular fireworks show over the Yaquina Bay starting at dusk, between 10 and 10:30 PM, on Tuesday, July 4th. Get there early to avoid having to park far away and to get the best seat possible! If you’re staying with us at Suite Dreams or Windward at the Regatta right on the Yaquina Bay, you’ll have a front row seat to the best fireworks show on the Oregon coast!

Have fun! We here at Oregon Beach Vacations want to wish you all a happy and safe Fourth of July this year, and we hope to see you again next year!

Beachcombing on the Oregon Coast

Beachcombing on the Oregon Coast

Beachcombing is a favorite activity here on the Oregon coast. With the storms and often rainy weather, lots of different things make its way onto the coastline and beaches of Oregon. Unfortunately, unless you use driftwood to make furniture or other items, you won’t find much just strolling the beaches without the proper equipment.

Here’s how to get the most out of your beachcombing adventure.

Beachcombing

Get the right foot wear! Beachcombing involves both exploring the beach and the water, so grab some felt bottomed scuba shoes for protection against the rocks and avoiding slippery situations.

Family Beachcombing on the Oregon Coast

Grab some containers! A plastic bag and a canvas bag work great. Use the canvas bag for holding any goodies you find, and help keep Oregon clean by picking up any trash you find and placing it in your plastic bag. A healthy beach is a happy beach!

Sunscreen - Beachcombing

Sunscreen is a must, even on the mostly cloudy Oregon coast! Cover up your arms and legs and apply sunscreen, especially if you plan to explore the beaches for long periods of time. Cloudy days often cause sun rays to be magnified, therefore causing a more severe burn.

Shelling on the Oregon Coast

Bring your camera, and capture some beautiful shots of the Oregon coast, your treasure, or anything else you might like to remember forever!

Beachcombing with Metal Detectors

Metal detectors can often help you find things hidden beneath the sand. Don’t let a little sand cause you an “out of sight, out of mind” missed opportunity.

Oregon Coast Beachcombing

Remember to leave the wild life alone. Beachcombing involves find hidden treasures that are not living or housing living animals. This includes starfish, crabs, turtles, and even shells housing hermit crabs. If it’s dead, it’s alright to take. Capture everything with your camera that you’re unable to physically bring back home with you! It’s the next best thing!

Beachcombing Waves

Always watch out for sneaker waves while exploring the Oregon coast. Never turn your back on the water, especially on stormy days. Too many people have been dragged out to sea due to sneaker waves. Stay safe and keep children and animals close to you at all times.

Oregon Beachcombing

The best times for beachcombing are during the winter, early AM, at low or receding tide when you have access to more areas of the beach, and right after a storm. Since storms occur frequently on the Oregon coast, you’ll always have a great chance of finding something interesting on your beachcombing trip.

Beachcombing on the Oregon Coast

Every year, Lincoln City places glass floats on their beaches, free to anyone who finds one, or several, if you’re lucky! This event runs from mid October to late May. The floats are placed randomly across Lincoln City’s beaches during this time period, weather permitting.

On your next visit to the Oregon coast, or if you’re already a permanent resident, come try your luck at beachcombing! The water is calling!
